</tr></tbody></table><p>MICA Ahmedabad is a premier Business school with a legacy of 28 years and 100% placement record in top companies. Established in 1991, MICA is the only residential institute in the country, and perhaps in the Asia-Pacific region, dedicated to creating leadership in Strategic Marketing and Communication. It differs from other B-Schools in terms of the range &amp; depth of the courses that are offered to its students. </p>
<p><strong>MICA: Autonomous &amp; Non-Profit B-school</strong><br />
MICA is an autonomous, non-profit institution. It offers a wide-range of academic programmes including following 3 residential programs:</p>
<ol><li>Post Graduate Diploma in Management-Communications (PGDM-C),</li>
<li>Crafting Creative Communication (CCC)</li>
<li>Fellow Programme in Management-Communications (FPM-C)</li>
</ol><p>MICA has created a niche in management education with consistently achieving and aspiring for yet higher standards. It is a unique institution with unique approach in pedagogy and learning; in selecting the students for admission to its flagship programme.</p>
<p><strong>MICAT-II: Mandatory exam for admission</strong><br />
MICA has introduced a new admissions process where candidates are given two opportunities to take the MICAT exam and participate in the GE and PI. While the MICAT – I result is declared, the application for MICAT-II is open for the eligible candidates till February 5.</p>
<p>MICAT-II will be a computer-based exam in place of the pen and paper model. For those who appear in both MICAT - I and II, the better of the two scores are considered for admission.</p>
<p><strong>MICAT-II: Exam pattern</strong><br />
MICAT-II with moderate difficulty level will be held on February 17, 2018. MICAT-II is the second entrance exam for the 2018–20 batch for the flagship programme of MICA, Post Graduate Diploma in Management – Communications (PGDM–C).</p>
<p><strong>MICAT-II exam will assess you on following</strong>: </p>
<ol><li>Analytical and verbal ability,</li>
<li>Quantitative Ability and Data Interpretation</li>
<li>Convergent &amp; divergent thinking,</li>
<li>Written communication skills, (Descriptive section)</li>
<li>General awareness about contemporary social and industry related issues including areas covering media, marketing, advertising and business.</li>
<li>Psychometric</li>
</ol><p><strong>MICAT score to be considered at two stages</strong><br />
It is extremely important to score well on MICAT-II as MICA will consider this score at two stages – at the time of shortlisting and while preparing final merit list for admission. While shortlisting for GE and PI, MICA would calculate a cut off by looking at an aggregate score of both MICAT and CAT/XAT/GMAT.</p>
<p>Also, MICA will look at this score while preparing the final list of selected students. At that time CAT/XAT/GMAT score will have a weightage of 20%. Also, MICA will look at the MICAT score while preparing the final list of selected students at which time MICAT score will have a weightage of 30%. </p>
<p>According to MICA, ‘We expect our prospective candidates to be well-read, innovative and intelligent with an analytical bent of mind. A regular habit of reading newspapers and practice in analytical and creative writing would be useful.’</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.mbauniverse.com/micat" target="_blank">MICA Admission</a>: 3 Step selection process</strong><br />
PGDM-C 2018-20 selection process involves three steps which are:</p>
<p>Step - I : You must have appeared in CAT 2017, or XAT 2018 or GMAT (2016 onwards)<br />
Step - II : You should register and apply for MICA Admission Test –MICAT-II<br />
Step - III : Participate in Group Exercise (GE) and Personal Interview (PI) on the designated date</p>
<p>The GE and PI round at MICA consists of a series of interactions with the candidates to assess their suitability for the Strategic Marketing and Communication driven industry sectors. This, according to MICA,does not require any prior preparation.</p>
<p>If you have missed MICAT-I for admission to PGDM-C at MICA Ahmedabad, you still have the opportunity to apply online for MICAT-II by February 5, 2018 and explore admission opportunity in the premium B-school. Candidates will need to apply online at MICA website with a registration fee of Rs. 1965/- which can be paid in cash, by demand draft or on-line.</p>
<p><strong>Scoring in MICAT</strong><br />
The score obtained individually by a candidate ‘X’ in a particular component of MICAT-I/MICAT-II,e.g. Verbal Ability (VA) will be converted into Scaled Score using the following sample formula for one of the components:</p>
<p>VA: Scaled Score -VA of a candidate 'X' in MICAT-I/MICAT-II = (Score -VA of the candidate 'X' /Maximum obtained by any candidate amongst the candidates who have appeared in MICAT-I/MICAT-II in VA) multiplied by Maximum Possible Score in VA in MICAT-I/ MICAT-II.</p>
<p>Similarly Scaled Scores will be calculated for all the MICAT-I/MICAT-II components using sample formula in point i) namely: VA, QADI, GA, DCT and DT.</p>
<p>Total MICAT-I/MICAT-II score will be calculated using Scaled Scores for each of the MICAT components, namely: VA, QADI, GA, DCT and DT</p>
<p>The exact cut-offs depend on various factors like the applicants’ pool, the distribution of CAT and MICAT scores etc. which may change year to year.</p>
<p><strong>Shortlisting process for GE-PI </strong></p>
<ul><li>Psychometric test in GE-PI round is a qualifier. Those who qualify on the Psychometric, their CAT/XAT/GMAT relative performance will be considered. (This is based on their relative performance in CAT/XAT/GMAT, subject to a minimum cut-off in CAT total percentile/XAT total percentile/GMAT score)</li>
<li>Those who qualify based on the CAT/XAT cut-off or GMAT score shall be assessed for the following MICAT sections: Verbal ability (VA), Quantitative ability and Data Interpretation (QADI), General awareness (GA), and Divergent and Convergent Thinking (DCT).</li>
<li>Those who qualify on the basis of relative performance subject to a minimum cut-off in Scaled Scores for each of these sections (namely: VA, QADI, GA and DCT) and CAT/XAT cut-off or GMAT score shall have their Descriptive Tests evaluated.</li>
<li>Those who qualify on the basis of above parameters and on the basis of relative performance subject to a minimum cut-off in Scaled Score in DT shall be considered for short listing for GE and PI.</li>
<li>Shortlist will be prepared on the basis of MICAT-I and /or II or better of the two relative performances if a candidate has taken both MICAT-I and MICAT-II. (This will be prepared based on the Composite Score formula of 50% CAT/XAT/GMAT and 50% MICAT).</li>
<li>Approximately 1/10th of the total number of candidates who appear in the two MICATs are shortlisted for GE &amp; PI based on the Total MICAT Scaled Score</li>
</ul><p><strong>MICAT-II: Important dates</strong><br />
